Sux and more from my Mom's garden!
Sometimes you don't realize what you have right under your nose! I pulled up to my Moms house this morning, and I have been noticing her kalenchoe in bloom for a few months now, but I had my camera and decided to take a few pics. I was surprised at all the succulents she had in her garden! A huge aloe, the kalenchoe, and a portulaca! The other plants were so colorful, I had to take a few pics of them as well. She has a hibiscus, cordyline fruticosa (Ti plants), Cordyline australis (?)and many other things in there too! It is very beautiful this time of year with the kalenchoe in bloom...it adds a punch of color along the front! My brother, sister-in-law, and I planted this garden for her about 6 years ago, and it has really filled in, and had more plants added over the years. I think it looks like it belongs in Better Homes and Gardens!

What a lovely garden. Very colorful. What kind of plant is that in the last picture? I love the coloring.
That is a Ti plant (cordyline fruticosa)...I love these plants, because you can break off a stem of it, and stick it right into the ground and it will root. They are awesome...I've got some going in my backyard as well.
Very pretty!

All I can say is...WOW.
Apparently great gardening runs in your family.
